Description

Hello Experts,

I have just installed Broot on macOS 14 and tried to open files within Broot using a terminal tool like Bat or Moar pager but some files broot is opening with external applications and some files failed to open with the below error

I have tried the below config but that is also giving me an error

{ invocation: edit key: enter shortcut: e execution: "/usr/bin/nvim +{line} {file}" apply_to: text_file leave_broot: false }

Can someone guide me with config help me to solve this problem as I am not able to make it work

Contributor guide
